Matthew 15:11
11 It is not what goes into the mouth of a man that makes him unclean and defiled, but what comes out of the mouth; this makes a man unclean and defiles[ him].

my dear ,ignoring a fact doesnt change that fact,drinking achohol is a sin when you are born again and i ll prove it with biblical refrences

NUMBERS 6 vs 3
LEVETICUS 10 vs 9
JUDGES 13 vs 4
What God commands Christians regarding alcohol is to avoid drunkenness (Ephesians 5:18). The Bible condemns drunkenness and its effects (Proverbs 23:29-35). Christians are also commanded to not allow theirbodies to be “mastered” by anything (1 Corinthians 6:12;2 Peter 2:19). Drinking alcohol in excess is undeniably addictive. Scripture also forbids a Christian from doing anything  that might offend other Christians or encourage them to sin against their conscience (1 Corinthians 8:9-13). In light of these principles, it would be extremely difficult for any Christian to say he is drinking alcohol in excess to the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31).
Yes i know there are many vs. such as this one that say wine is good but the fact is this is not talking about fermented wine. *.YAYIN: Intoxicating, fermented wine *.TIROSH: Fresh grape juice *.SHAKAR: Intoxicating, intensely alcoholic, strong drinkThese are the three definitions of wine in the old testament taken from any dictionary made in the 1860's or before will say that wine is fermented and unfremented we today have changed the meanings of many words Believing the word wine every time you see it in the bible is fermented,would be like saying everytime you see the word man in the bible that it is a male all because we today changed too much. Alright thanks i ll stop here

Numbers 6 vr 1-4
Num 6:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Num 6:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate [themselves] to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate [themselves] unto the LORD:
Num 6:3 He shall separate [himself] from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
Num 6:4 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.

This is when a vow is made we should make conclusions from the context, not just a verse

Lev 10vr 8-11

Lev 10:8 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,
Lev 10:9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations:
Lev 10:10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
Lev 10:11 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.

Judges 13 vs 1 - 25

. . . .

Judges 13 vr 3 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
Judges 13 vr 4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
Judges 13 vr 5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.

. . . .

A vow was to be made here by Samsons mother who had been barren and was about to be blessed with a child (Samson). If it was meant to be a No No it would have been added with the 10 commandment, to probably be the 11th
